Apple designs a new 3D display

Apple registered a patent for its new 3D display

Apple is trying to improve their screens, and it has focused on three dimensions. The Cupertino company is investing in three dimensions and has registered a patent to improve 3D image.

This time the patent that Apple has been not appear to have applications for iPhone and iPhone handheld devices, which are often targeted by the innovation of the company. At least initially the new development would be more focused on a larger screens , like an iMac or a television.

This is an optimization of three-dimensional images. The content in this format would give a greater sense of reality. The process would be a 'multireproductor' screens.

Apple's patent explains that in a single device that eventually the screen users see reflected the image that will generate three other hidden screens , each of which with its own discrete graphics card. Thus each emit different fragments of the image that would generate about three dimensions achieved.

Needless to say, this system would not be necessary 3D glasses. The applications of this patent may refer to the field of television or the Mac OS X, maybe even over time may serve to IOS devices, although the latter option would be farther away.

Is not the first time the company researches in this field. In fact, as I recall from Patently Apple , Steve Jobs's relationship with Pixar Animation, the animation company was a pioneer in the images in three dimensions. The current CEO of Apple bought it in 1986 and provided a modernization drive, as well as a good investment, which would tell when the 3D technology began to emerge as applied to movies.

Protection of passwords on Android

A simple operation and yet transcendent, because that keeps key post everything from greetings to friends to professional tasks or data purchases. Are you sure? While the question is increasingly appellant, the answer is complicated. The latest controversy about the stars in Android .

Google's operating system stores some key mobile email in plain text, normal, similar to writing a notebook, creating safety concerns and, in some countries, law. This is the case of Spain, whose rules require that passwords be stored in an "incomprehensible." According to Samuel Parra, an expert on data protection in the network and partner ePrivacidad , keys should be encrypted to comply with the law. Google responds that the system is secure because only the "administrator" of the phone can get that data, and that "in any case," access "Android is protected."

The company details are stored only in plain text passwords for mail services that use POP3, IMAP, SMTP, and Exchange ActiveSync, because they require each connection that indicated the password in this format. They are older protocols (modern ones have solved the introduction of the key to a more secure), but common. Google also stresses that it is an issue that affects all kinds of mobile devices-not exclusively, and operating systems, not just Android, although the latter can encrypt or transform the keys.

The Spanish Agency for Data Protection has opened a "preliminary analysis" of information on this topic, check it for signs of violation of Spanish law. The agency declines, for now, rating the performance of Google, hoping to collect all data on it.

Google will pay a service to speed up web pages

Google today introduced a new service, but this time they have to pay. This is Page Speed Service and promises to optimize the customer site to your query is made faster, giving an acceleration between 25 and 60% higher than the other sites.


As explained in the corporate blog, you must join the site to an address in Google, from which to rewrite the code of the content for faster viewing and then be displayed to visitors of the site from the servers of the company. The site will retain its original URL.

Among the works to optimize the page that will include the compression of images to cache certain coordinates or take advantage of compression on the server. Google provides some evidence to document their promises. But the service warns of some important limitations. You can not work with https sites whose connection is secured and used, for example, by the banks to give customers access to their personal accounts. Nor can try the service sites hosted on Blogger, among others, or operate on Flash content or files that are accessible in streaming.

For some time, Google has proposed different solutions to improve the query speed of the web pages from the publication of a module for the Apache Web server tools for the page creator can evaluate your results and make changes recommended. But the novelty now is that the service charges. For now, Google has not provided selectively charges and offers a number of developers.

Approved standard for super wifi

The portfolio of 900 IEEE Standards Association has increased today with a new one, the IEEE 802.22 wireless networks that can deploy with a coverage of 100 kilometers and speeds of 22 Mbps is known as super wifi and will provide network coverage in areas such as rural areas, where infrastructure is less common. To achieve this goal, the new system will use spectrum released by the transition from analog to digital television.


As explained in Bandanacha , networks operate on the model of point-to-multipoint, where several end-user computers are connected directly to the base station that will determine who has access to the medium at the time. "The modulation will be OFDMA, so the link data rate may be adapted to changing conditions of the wireless medium, lowering the pure performance of the link toward keeping the connection alive if they worsen, and vice versa."

The signal does not interfere with television since it uses so-called white spaces that do not take the television signal.

In the statement of partnership highlights the capabilities of the use of cognitive radio call, a wireless communication system capable of emitting, receiving and communicating with their peers at a time without causing interference, because it takes advantage of gaps in the spectrum. "The cognitive radio is a revolution in radio communications, because it changes the way we manage and use the radio spectrum," explains Ferran Casadevall, professor in the Department of Signal Theory and Communications Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) , in a report by this newspaper on it. "Imagine a highway where each lane is for a type of vehicle. Cognitive radio, however, can assign them dynamically. Thus, in the band for television, for example, operate telephone services using the spectral holes. While the fixed channels prevents little or no use, but allocated to specific services, can be reused by others, the cognitive radio channel can be reused for more than one service.
